Videoclipe Question of Love

The Gift band

 

The invitation came from the members of the band The Gift: to make a music video entirely with puppets that would interact with the vocalist Sónia Tavares.

The music video was to be created for the song "Question of Love" from the album "Film".

The music video begins with Vasco Granja, the famous RTP (Portuguese public television) animated film presenter from the 70s and 80s, introducing the video, just as he did for RTP. This was a way for the band to pay homage to the work of this communicator. The video recounts a day in the life of the main character (Yellow Puppet) from when he wakes up until he goes to the piano to try to write a song. He falls asleep and dreams that he meets his muse, the band's vocalist Sónia Tavares – eventually waking up at the end.

 

Curiosity:

All the band members manipulated the puppets during the recording.
